SEF, Registry and Notary Services employees go on strike

Portugal’s SEF borders and immigration offices and Registry and Notary services employees were all on strike this week, starting Wednesday and end their action on Friday.

Around 90 percent of employees at Portugal's Registry and Notary Services adhered to the strike on Wednesday, according to the sector's trade union. The trade union also criticised the government's employment legislation revision proposal and a "deficit" of 1,500 employees. SEF immigration officials have meanwhile promised more strike action for the year’s end.
